Feel empowered, balanced and focussed so you can SHINE
As female professionals, there are many demands we have to deal with. We want to do well and progress to the next level in our career. On top of that, as women, we are typically dealing with many chores, tasks, and pressures outside the workplace. Women are good at multitasking, but juggling so many things can be overwhelming, and can make it hard to maintain our focus.
And, as women we are sensitive – that’s what makes us good carers, mothers, and leaders. This sensitivity makes it extra important, however, to find the right balance, and stay connected to that inner compass of wisdom and love – our true self.
As a former lawyer and barrister at a global law firm I have personally experienced the demands and pressures of the corporate world. Drawing on this experience and on my training as a certified Personal Development Coach, I can provide you with practical tools to work towards your goals with clarity and focus. In our coaching sessions, I will increase your self-awareness and shine a light on what is blocking you, so you can move past what holds you back and embrace your full potential and lead courageously and gracefully from your heart.
It is your time to shine in both your career and personal life!

“We desperately need more leaders who are committed to courageous, wholehearted leadership and who are self-aware enough to lead from their hearts, rather than uninvolved leaders who lead from hurt and fear.”

About
Often, successful female professionals struggle to find their focus and feel trapped between two worlds. They feel that they have to live a certain life – they feel that others expect this from them, or perhaps they demand that from themselves. I certainly used to feel that way when I was working as a lawyer. I felt I was on an express train knowing exactly what my final destination was going to be. When I realized I had enough of the journey, I decided to get off the train.

As a female professional you usually don't have a lot of time on your hands during your workday. I’ve created a few short Workday Mini Mediations that will take just a few minutes of your time. You can listen to them at your desk, or – when you lack privacy - in the bathroom.

Corporate
Today, diversity and equality are a priority in the workplace. Yet despite our best efforts we still don’t have enough women in top roles. How do we change that? Crucial is building a culture where female professionals can thrive, with tailor-made training and programs, assistance, and continual measurement and follow-up to help them rise to the top. These training and programs need to be delivered by a coach who has a business understanding and who talks the language of the organisation. Because of my corporate background as a lawyer/barrister at a global law firm and my training and practice as a certified coach I have both a strong business organizational understanding and a strong coaching practice.
